Or maybe if it is easier, place it within your Code Snippets plugin. That way, you will be able to avoid the issues of admin code residing within a theme — which is meant to be for front-end visuals of your website only.

Your new custom WordPress thank you text

But what if you wanted to add more? There’s always room for more creativity. So how about adding some emojis to make your thank you text look more dazzling?

Added Quirks: Emojis

Now it is really easy to create your own Thank you text. What if you like to use an emoji? You will have to be careful of the emoji compatibility though, since not all emojis are supported by all browsers and/or devices. You will have to make sure that you are using well-supported basic emojis.

If you’re thinking of using the wp smileys, unfortunately these WordPress ‘emoticons’ and ‘smileys’ only work within the post editor. The thank you text is outside of this editor, and therefore cannot support the WP smileys.

Basic emojis like a smiley face, sad face, and heart are well-supported across browsers and devices.

So probably no winky animated smileys, but you will still be able to use a wide range of emojis on the thank you text.

Normally the thank you text will stay simple. But you can always go that little bit further…
